    Please id this frag, I know there's zoanthids on the backside, but what are the brown ones? When I bought the frag the brown ones were closed up, and didn't even think about asking the lfs.

    They're palys, think of them as a "bigger" zoa.

    This particular morph is usually just called "green palys". :)

    Thanks, I tried to feed my clown some brine shrimp and one landed on a polyp and it shut with it in there. Tripped me out, so I started feeding them each...

    I'd just leave them be. Palythoa and Zoanthus (palys and zoas) are meat eaters as well as being photosynthetic, so will close up like a Venus Fly Trap upon any meaty bits falling in.

    Enjoy them. They look very healthy. :)
